boogieboard Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hello, I'm just starting to try and set up remote play my emulators for Launchbox Big Box through Steam Big Picture. My issue right now is the controller I use remotely work fine up until the game starts. From there the controllers stop working. Is this a Launchbox issue? Or is this something I need to set up through my games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You launch Bigbox so steam allows the controller to work with that, but then Bigbox launches a emulator/game, and steam is unaware of that, so the controller isnt passed through. I believe you need paid software to do it correctly through steam, unless that has changed over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I'd chime in here (I'm the dev of SteamLauncher) and give my 2-cents to help offer some help to @thecouchleague. While I could be totally wrong, I wouldn't expect this type of setup to work if you are using Steam remote play. The reason being is that you're essentially trying to launch a Steam sessions within an already existing Steam session... I.e. Your using Steam to launch LaunchBox/BigBox and then by using SteamLauncher with LB/BB, you're again asking Steam to launch another game within Steam, even though you already have a game running (Steam doesn't know LB/BB isn't a game.. if your Steam status shows you as currently "playing" LaunchBox or BigBox, it already thinks your in a gaming session). I do know however that many people are using SteamLauncher with remote play (whether that be through Nvidia GameStream, Steam Remote Play, or whatever else) so I would post a message in the SteamLauncher support thread and I suspect you will find someone willing to help you get things setup correctly. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
